"Tilda perfectly embodies the Paris-Edimbourg collection," said Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld. "She is of course Scottish, but more than that, she is a modern woman, a timeless icon of elegance."

Shot by Lagerfeld himself, the imagery is expected to be released in full in May. The actress was chosen for her "unique personality, charisma and allure", stated a spokesperson from the brand.
